We have a small heart-shaped wooden plaque that reads, "All hearts go home for Christmas." Those six little words have long resonated within me as I've wondered--- where do the people, the hearts, go who have no home at Christmas? Where is home for them?
Created in the image of God, God himself has placed within our hearts a home, a home with hearth fires burning and a taste of sweet goodness. For no matter where we are in the world, our place or situation, God always extends the warmth of His love as He patiently keeps the home fire burning.
I believe St. Augustine got it right when he said, "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you."
May this be the Christmas our hearts find our home in our Savior, Christ the Lord.
